1. Introduction to Anatomy
Made by Francesca Pickwell

4. Aims
1) Know the key features of the anatomical position 2) Understand the concept of anatomical planes 3) Understand how to use key anatomical terminology

5. The Anatomical Position….
Head and eyes facing forward
Both arms by side with palms of hands facing forward
Legs close together with toes pointing forward
ALL ANATOMICAL DESCRIPTIONS ARE EXPRESSED IN RELATION TO THE ANATOMICAL POSITION !!!

6. Anatomical Planes
Median- vertical plane passing through centre of body-> R and L equal halves
Saggital- vertical plane parallel to median plane NOT passing through centre of body
Coronal-vertical plane passing through body dividing it into front and back parts
Transverse- horizontal plane dividing body into upper and lower parts

8. Anatomical terms of relationship and comparison
Superior (cranial) vs. Inferior (caudal)
Anterior (ventral) vs. Posterior (dorsal)
Medial vs. Lateral
Proximal vs. Distal
Superficial vs. Deep

9. Anatomical terms of movement
Flexion vs. Extension
Abduction vs. Adduction
Medial rotation vs. Lateral rotation
Pronation vs. Supination
Elevation vs. Depression
Circumduction

10. Recommended Text Books
An anatomy text (essential)
Moore and Agur, ‘Essential Clinical Anatomy’ or
Drake and Vogl, ‘Gray’s Anatomy for Students’
Others you may find useful (not essential):
Lumley’s ‘Surface Anatomy’ (the be all and end all of surface anatomy)
McMinn’s ‘Clinical Atlas of Human Anatomy’ (images of dissections, useful for the spotter)

11. How to learn anatomy
Do NOT copy the entirety of Moore and Agur. Rote learn will not help long term memory.
Draw and label. Test your knowledge. Flashcards?
Make small summary tables. You do not need to know 2/3 of the medial dadada in thorough detail! Know basic attachment areas, visualize them.
Make use of the optional DR sessions. You can use the resources in there for revising for your exams. SA, Imaging, Prosection, Osteology. These are what you will me examined on in the spotter.

12. Other non-book stuff
Netter’s Anatomy Flashcards/ or Grays. Are pretty good to test yourself. You do not need to buy them unless you will benefit from them.
Access AnatomyTV (either directly or via e-library gateway)
Complete your tasking books as you go along.

13. DR sessions Do not stress about it.
But use it as an incentive to prepare for these sessions.
There is a checklist at the beginning of each tasking session on the structures you should locate/clean in your cadaver.
Make use of Tasking room time!
Best way to learn anatomy is to teach each other! Leave no man behind.

14. Your cadaver
Respect.
You will always remember this person as the one who aided your anatomy learning the most.
